Really good sale! One thing though. I plan on picking up a couple of these, particularly Spec Ops as I have PS+ but I am a bit weary that some of these may end up being in the instant game collection in the coming months and so would therefore be better waiting?? Can I get a response if possible? Many thanks!

This time wont buy anything untill fix the problem with motorstorm rc complete pack and pure chess sason bundle , i bought them in 20 december and they still not working on my ps vita and still no refund for them. Fix this than im gona think about buying anything on januray sale.

It’s not relevant to this post so I won’t go into detail here, but I’ve got a problem with accessing BioShock 2 as part of my PS+ subscription. I’ve posted about it in more detail in your PS+ January content update post, comment #264-265. If you could check it out, it’d be greatly appreciated.

I have recieved a response from our operations team. The problem here occurs when a game that has full game trial enters Plus as a free game, moving forward if a game is going into plus we will remove it from the free game trial area for the duration that it is available in plus.

To solve your issue they have stated that if you let the full game trial run till its conclusion, you should be able to purchase the full game afterwards.

I’ve already got Borderlands via PS Plus for free, but I’ll think about the GOTY edition, in order to get the DLCs too for a good price.

Got Transformers: Fall of Cybertron too, but the DLC costume packs are ridiculous. They should have already been included in the main game, not being sold separately for €9 (and now on sale for €4,5) each. I’ll pass.

Noooooooooo really no vita love again I asked 3 weeks ago and u said u was workin on them and will not belong but still non befor crimo newyear and now jan. its a true shame sony do no care for the vita at all some good ps3 games tho

“Leylifer
There was no Store update for the last 3 weeks.
There was no discount for Vita for Xmas unlike US Store.
There was nothing for Vita for the last month except two free games for Plus.

Chris Howe
There will be a store update today from Jawad
There may be a couple of VITA games added as the weeks progress but look out for a VITA specific sale in the future. It won’t be too long”

@ Chris and others like Fred

Leylifer is right though. Early December EU blog mods said there would be PSVita deals added. We’re more than a full month later and it is still said to ‘wait a little bit longer’.

USA got an awesome Xmas deal discount. In America, even during Xmas time, updates EVERY week. What is SCEE doing? Promising and taking a 3 week holiday. And still nothing at the update 9th January. That next update better be really really good, especially for PSVita. I really don’t get what SCEE/Sony thinks, but COD on PSVita is such a bad game, they expected that it would drive a lot Xmas sales in EU? Support PSVita better dudes, before it is dead in the water! Only just over 4 mln units sold by now, a year later almost…

Is there any way possible that Transformers: War For Cybertron will ever appear on PSN?

Any chance of Dark Souls DLC going on sale at any stage?

Will EU be getting Demon’s Souls like USA did?
I own the game on disc, but haven’t played much of it. If it went on PSN, surely the already quite busy multiplayer would experience a boom and would entice me to jump in head-first!

“Turbine_inc
lol complaints about vita, when will people learn….sony couldnt care less
it didnt sell as well as they wanted it to so there is very little support or new games
look at ps move
psp go”

He is partly right. Think before you release hardware and do promises Sony. I bought a Move and it hardly gets support. Good I never was interested in the PSPGo. And I have to say, PSVita gets pretty good support in games (line up is more interesting than 3DS IMO), but Sony really has to understand that to sell hardware, it doesn’t just have to be good hardware and think people will jump in. You gotta constantly market, push it and make it interesting to buy that PSVita. That includes the support on PS+. The instant game collection was pretty good with an impressive start and then you lose momentum by skipping the important December month pretty much totally, well into January now. So instead of that ‘comes soon’ and ‘won’t be too long from now’ for that PSVita sale, can you at least give a date when it’ll actually be here?

You will prevent people getting irritated by MANAGING EXPECTATIONS. One of the basics that defines leadership and having a vision. People mostly get disappointed because they expect something, as the details of something are too vague. Learn to do that right, for example like just said giving more specific dates when stuff can be expected, or at least a period of a certain month, and you’ll have less negative comments on this blog. Just a tip… Oh, and you can hire me for an improved marketing on PSVita and have it sell better as I work in the marketing sector

Why the hell has sony stuck multiplayer on god of war it is a big kick in the teeth for the francise played the beta it is just poor awful plus u get all these circle smashers the guy who just spam circle why sony why

Would it be possible to add some of the Marvel Pinball tables to the sale in the coming weeks?
Also, some kind of discount in Dungeon Hunter Alliance, PS3 or Vita version, would be nice too, if it were possible (the PS3 version is only $1 this week).

I got my Vita a couple weeks ago and am really enjoying it.
Any chance “DISSIDIA 012[duodecim] FINAL FANTASY [PSP]” will be on sale at all? I’m also curious to know if any PSOne games will be on sale like Spyro or Crash Bandicoot. Thanks!

Another sale, cool. Will we see more PSN games or add-ons added to the sale in the following days? I bought THPS HD in the last sale, would probably buy the DLC if it was discounted by 50%. I’m sure many people would buy Mass Effect add-ons if they were discounted as well. I personally would like to see discounts on Walkind Dead, Zuma’s Revenge and Skydrift (it’s terribly overpriced here compared to US).

as plus members here in turkey we dont have mortal kombat in store for ps3 so how about we also get the gotham city imposters free like germany?
Mortal kombat for ps3 is not in the store so we want gotham city imposters please.

Why are a lot of them games/dlc’s on ‘sale’, when they’ve Allready been in numerous ‘sales’ past 12 months allready, ?.. Borderlands dlc, thnx, got that all for half price about 6-8 months ago, same time Red Dead Redemption dlc’s were on, Hydrophobia Prophecy, Again, Thats been offered at least Three times in past SIX Months. Prototype, offered about 6-8 WEEKs ago, Can’t wait to see what else we’ll be offered, NOT.. Was browsing US store/blog last night, The different standards is sad to see.. I happened to notice they had 2. 11.99 (dollar) games on offer for 99cents, lol isn’t that about 40pence ?. not sure if they were good (games), But at least the prices (40pence !), appear to offer respect, Something us scee customers seem not to be worthy of. And thank god i let my plus sub lapse, it just looks like scee, sony as a whole are catering to the more casual gamers, (buyers), which is all ok, as long as they try and cater for the more hardcore ones instead of, ‘thanks for coming, please come/stay again’ suckers, seriously is how it looks, from here.

Today i bought PS+ one year subscription, while my “old” subscription is still active.
Now, when i look in my Acc. – Trans. – Services List, there it says that PS+ is “In use” and valid until next year, BUT, when i look at “Information” of any PS+ free game, it says “expires in 14 days”

Is this normal, will my new subscription start to count when old one expires or there is some problem?

It would be awesome if Square Enix does another Final Fantasy sale, i’d like to replay FF XIII-2 and i’d pick the DLC if it was on sale when i get to the game again (gonna start FF XIII soon), but it’s ok if there’s no sale, it’s my only platinum and i enjoyed the game without the DLC, can do it again.

I would like to see us finally get the NIS sale America had over a year and a half ago- where dlc like Disgaea 3 and 4, Atelier games etc were put on sale. People in Europe do actually play JRPGS.

Why not have an rpg as a whole sale both psn games and dlc? On both western and Japanese rpgs? There is plenty of games to choose from Kingdom of Amalur, Dragon’s Age 2, Realms of Ancient War, D&D Daggerdale etc

I realise you have a Rising Star bundle sale – but I already have the UMD’s for quite a few of the games in the bundle. I won’t buy the same game again just to play on a different handheld.

Every other genre of games gets catered for except for rpgs especially with plus before someone states “these are niche games” how does anyone think they will be anything but if they aren’t made available

@ abood619. House of Dead Overkill.
Check HMV out as they’ve been selling that (new) for 7pounds for ages.

Also this may be wrong blog but, Can someone tell me If i am doing something wrong in ME3, picked it up again and downloaded the alternative ending, But all i have managed to find is a short film were everyones eyes are green, i loaded from last restart mission, ‘return to citadel’, Surely a 1825 MB download isn’t needed IF it’s just for That ‘choose organic/synthetic harmony’ end, i was expecting Some kind of gameplay, for download size etc, Hope someone responds, anyway heres a online code for it GCCP-P8NJ-3Q89. Hope it helps someone out.

as plus members here in turkey we dont have mortal kombat in store for ps3 so how about we also get the gotham city imposters free like germany?
Mortal kombat for ps3 is not in the store so we want gotham city imposters please. why are you not noticing?

People asking for Kingdoms of Amalur dlc. (+1), But is it even possible, as the dev, or someone went outa business, so am not sure scee could even talk to anyone about it, real shame too as imo that beats Skyrim in so many areas, but never got the recognition, on a more serious note, did scee somehow contribute to that devs demise ?. as they released the 7.99 online pass for Free, for around 2 Months as the game was getting released, it must of caused some damage.
Also agree with above post, Where are the RPG games/dlc’s sales ?. If you think vita is being overlooked then us rpg gamers must be downright lepers.. Come on scee, show ‘some’ love to this genre.

On the Christmas sale we complained about the lack of Vita games, and someone on the staff said that there would be some love for the Vita on the New Year’s Sale.

So, it’s the New Year’s Sale now and not a single Vita game. The post says that there will be more titles added, but probably the most I can aspire for are some possible PS3 cross-buy or some old PSP/minis games.

Hope we get the Borderlands2 creature dome in store later, not too bothered about the alternative skins/grenade one, but creature dome looks like a must, this season pass for it (B2), it says save 25% off 4 dlc’s, Are they counting the Mechno/Robot (premiere club) as one of these, as if so then it’s not really a good buy, i mean if thats one of the four, if just a bonus then different story. erm, messing about on spare user other day, and for some reason the game is giving 11 golden keys out, once it’s read you have premiere and a Borderlands (1) save on that User, Can’t delete my main profile though as i only end up with about half of my Bad A, rank, But it’s come in handy playing offline co-op, lol.

1. I remember how I searched for Spec Ops in the store around Christmas and it wasn’t there. Is it new or one of those that are/were lost in the “system”? Got it on Steam now.

2. Sound Shapes sale? USA had it last week. Walking Dead would be most welcome too.

3. Vita sales? We got promised they would follow, instead we get a reply now on what Vita games aren’t planned for a sale.

4. Why is GCI still not in the german Plus section? It can only be found via search and one of the 2 found entries is misleading.

5. Where are once more the Plus avatars of the month?

6. I’d appreciate if we wouldn’t see all the same games in sales again and again.
*cough*Hydrophobia Prophecy*cough*
Seriously, when is this game NOT on sale?
And there are many many other games that we see regularly too, as Prototype, Mafia 2 etc. Instead of filler material, why not try something *gasp* new?

Wrecked: Revenge Revisited was supposed to be in the festive sale in December but was never added and the Full Game is not even available on the store anymore, just the trial.
Will it be added today?
Thanks

I prefer seeing stuff that DOESN’T get cheaper over time offline; i.e. digital-only stuff. PSN download titles and DLC. I sympathise with common shouts for the Unfinished Swan.

Personally I’m more focused on DLC since I already own so many of the PSN games I’ve wanted over the years. Also, so many full retail titles these days have DLC, that even though I buy a lot of DLC, there’s always more I don’t have that I buy the instant I see on sale.

Except in the case of Arkham City’s awful DLC sale, where the compound price of buying all the DLC during the sale costs more than the price of buying all the DLC AND the full game on disk via game of the year edition.

Which brings me back to my point that, admitted benefits of download aside, I prefer to see a sale on things where there isn’t an equivalent alternative available at comparable or decreasing price.

is this is what’s considered a January Sale? the US store got 2 FREE GAMES VIA PLUS, loads of decent games for 0.99 and we get this. what a load of crap, if your gonna do a sale at least put stuff on that people want not this nonsense. since the store got it’s new look the sales have gotten even worse.

Whilst I understand that if I download and play the trial, I’ll be able to get the full game once the trial has expired after 60 mins, I have to say that I find that to be an incredibly inconvenient solution.

I already own BioShock 2 on disc and have completed it. Thus, I have no intention of playing it and certainly don’t want to download an 11GB game and be forced to play it for 60 mins. I just want to be able to add the full game to my download list, so that in the future, e.g. potentially on PS4, I have the option to access the full game should I want to play it. Unfortunately, the FGT system prevents me from doing this.

As a much better solution, I’d like to have all of the FGTs removed from my download list permanently so that I don’t have this problem anymore. Could you facilitate this for me? Otherwise I’m going to continue to have this issue every time a FGT game is on Plus as I have all of the FGTs on my download list already, so I don’t think that you removing them from the store whilst the full game is on Plus would make a difference.

@ Creditdue
The saves from disc worked on digital, but not sure if the digital will work on digital goty, i would say it is very likely though. but can’t confirm.

@ Supersmith, agree, But for ‘some’ reason Wipeout 2048 only costs $17.99 on US store anyway, whereas i believe it’s still £30plus here, maybe when they drop the price they’ll put it on igc soon after.

@Chris.
Why or When can we get a game, or The game Dungeon Hunter Allience for about 40 Pence, like the US have atm, (99 cents), That is something i and many others would Really love to see. i know it’s a similar price to ios/android version, But i hear it’s also a very similar build. Basically it shouldn’t of been it’s psn price Anyway, Can we Ever hope to see that kind of bargain over here ?.

To be forced to download a 11GB game, install it, start it up, close it down, and then wait 60 mins for it to expire, all so that I can just have the full game registered on my download list, is laughably inconvenient.

Whilst the FGTs are a nice idea, their implementation is poor unfortunately. There must be a better way.

Chris, can you find out why the system appears to work properly for Assassins Creed II, i.e. you can still buy the full game despite having the FGT on your download list, but not any of the other games with FGTs? Clearly something isn’t quite right there. If it was like this for all games with FGTs, then there wouldn’t be a problem.

Need some discount on add-Ons like battlefield premium and fifa whats the deal with these out of date discounted games? I haven’t spend my money in the psn store for a while never no good deals for me just old games that need attention i need attention too lol

After all these sales without ANY Vita games, couldn’t you at least put something big-ish for the platform on sale? Something like Unit 13? (Not just downloadable games, but perhaps not the biggest games either)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE enough of hydrophobia..
i am sick of seeing it in every store update n game sale.. anyone who wanted to buy it has already did it..
overall good sale this time around i’ll pick up at least a couple of these..

Do EU vita owners know that the US (Jap?) have actually got demos of psp games, i noticed both GoWs and Resistance Retribution, plus loads more. as a ex-vita owner i again find it shocking at just how far ahead US is in both Full games, and now having psp demo accessibility as well. I try not to compare regions as both/all have their own strenghts and weaknesses, But it is sometimes too hard to ignore. So, when can Euro vitas be able to demo psp titles, Anyone know ?.

OMFG its past 3 pm and we still dont have any news on store update at all again jaward is taking the (CENSORED) keeping community up to date think its time sony actually get these blogs out on time not at some random in the afternoon or as some recently have turned up day after store has updated and lets be honest at the moment us PS+ users are getting screwed on both PS3 and Vita instant game collection updates compared to the USA. But hey thanks again sony for screwing you EU users.

Retro City Rampage developer Brian Provinciano has announced at long last the European release date for his 8-bit ode to retro games of years gone by.

Provinciano has announced that the game will hit the European PS Store Wednesday, January 16th for PS3 and PS Vita, and that if you buy it on either format, you automatically get the other free of charge.

The delay was FULLY down to the dev and NOT SCEE’s fault this time round

Also, when you put retail games+DLC bundles for sale, please discount -just- the DLC in a bundle or seperate also please. A lot of us have the base games already and don’t want to pay for the game again.

…and obviously, the DLC without base game should be cheaper than the game+DLC bundle.

First when fans complained about no vita sales during December, we were told to wait for January, today you are saying there might or might not be sales in the next couple of weeks. Lastly you mention the vita will have its own specific sale not far off whenever the hell that happens. When are you going to stop with this cat and mouse game of prolonging this sale and lying to your consumers? Sorry, but it’s getting pathetic.

Also while I’m at it, are there plance to have sales for Silent Hill Book of Memories, MGS HD collection and Sine Mora (vita versions)?

As for a Vita sale if people stood back and looked at the bigger picture they may realise that the Vita is coming up to its 1st Birthday!!

Now if I was a betting man I would place a decent wedge on there being some pretty good Vita sales over that period

…and yes I know it may have been a bit cheeky of certain SCEE employees leaving it so open ended in saying exactly when a Vita sale may take place (or even pointing directly to the New Year for that matter) but if they just came out and said:
“Feb 2013 until the next Vita sale”… then there would have been a huge wave of people complaining!!

Feb is still in the New Year technically (so is September. A little creative twist on wording there maybe?!?)

lol , jes i now ith = not always sony mistake
but them need more telling why them have problem
= laws not ok
canseld
problems converting …..
= then we understend = take time to get ore never ( so we buy else where ore buy other games instead )

I hope for vita sales for sound shapes, plants vs zombies (also I somehow expect this one to come on plus sonner or later) and also wouldn’t mind if some of the smaller games like brun the rope or flying hamster would get in the price range at a sale for there ios, andriod versions… I love to play the vita, but paying 3-4 times as much as they are on android/ ios??

I am so pleased I sold my Vita this Christmas, although it was at a bigger loss than expected. Apparently people don’t want to buy them second-hand, according to CEX and GAME.

Put the money towards a Wii U, which is okay I guess. Nothing special, but at least I know Nintendo will support it. That’ll keep me going until the inevitable XBOX3 this winter…which will be my last purchase. No Playstation for me next gen. As good as Naughty Dog are, they themselves don’t justify another generation of abuse and disappointment from Sony.

@ Scuffy-P
Can understand you, i bought vita in Feb, solely, well mainly because of All the remote play adverts, when i found out about 2 months later RP isn’t really possible, well not the way the official ps adverts showed it, i sold mine, i paid around 300 out, and got under half that back, Two months in.. Can only imagine what there worth now.. tbh though i also couldn’t get used to the small sticks/buttons, thought i would but it never happened.. i have a feeling this next gen ps will have a Lot of vita compatabilities, wiuu like controller and other stuff, But i am Never buying any console early again, well and truly learnt my lesson on that.. Was looking at the new wiuu, like the look and am a sucker for Zombie games so am glad it released at xmas period, as i would prob of impulse bought it few months earlier, now i can watch/read how it performs.

I’ve been toying with getting the Borderlands 1 DLC for a while, but thanks to the GOTY being on this sale I’ve been able to get the full lot for £8.72, and I can take my retail copy to GAME and trade for about £7 towards a new game. Seems rude not to take advantage, so a big thank you from me

I know we haven’t seen eye to eye before but I am glad you have learnt from your personal experience with being an early adopter with the Vita and waiting with regards to buying a WiiU and see how it does before taking the plunge

We were hoping to include Farming Collection in this sale but there were pricing issues with it throughout Europe meaning it would not have been an even price across all territories. We are trying to resolve this so it can be discounted in the future it is unlikely that it will be in this sale though

@ TINTINTB I have been an early adaptor all my live bought the snes,ps1,ps2,xbox,gb color,advance,ds. on release the features they promised all worked well! Vita features such as remote play one of its major features´ now lbp2 feature was released not long ago but i have to pay for it really? that just sucks. The supposed console experience on the go tbh only 2 games come close gravity rush and Uncharted. now dont get me wrong not hating on the vita or anyting really love the devive actually but really they release an overpriced machine hoping to sell overpriced games the logic is where?

£30 is sitting in my ps store since Christmas! I would like to spend it so much but the titles I am looking forward to are:
The Walking Dead with a little discount
Terraria-any news of its release date yet?

@ TINTINB103
Thanks for your regards, i Can understand that some features take time to work on new consoles, however it was proven to me that RP is never going to happen, Well never being 3to5 years away, maybe. whereas the way the vita was advertised showed people playing Remotely, like it was a out of the box feature. I hear because of server/network speeds this is rarely going to Ever happen, but if something new is invented that allows it then i will re-buy a vita, i know your a staunch defender of scee, But i feel i was sold goods falsely, costing me a fair bit of cash, and obviously there’ll be small print ‘somewhere’ basically telling me ‘tough luck’, live and learn though, i would like to think i won’t make a similar mistake, But i probably will.. have a good evening.

I’ve seen some really good sales from time to time, but some times they’re just pointless..

Spec Ops: The Line (Ends 16/1/2013; not available in UAE)
Was €59.99/£39.99/AU$99.95; now €24.99/£19.99/AU$29.95

I bought that on Steam for my PC for £5. Most the games on there you can get much cheaper from a shop. I really hope there never is an age where everything does go digital, if prices like these are considered a ‘sale’. :/

I feel Remote Play will be a feature we see more and more with the Vita/PS4 combination to be honest.

All RM games, even the newest (I played Tokyo Jungle, the most recent game to get a RM patch/update) suffer from terrible lag at times. I tried on a private network and over the internet and the results were less than enjoyable.

I really feel Sony are playing the long game with regards to Vita and it will be a better partner with the PS4 than it ever will be with the PS3. The tech/time they (PS3 & Vita) were developed in are just poles apart at the end of the day.

That being said the LBP2 cross controller worked superbly well and suffered from ZERO lag which I found a nice surprise!!

As for being “a staunch defender of SCEE…” (your words)… Hmm, I disagree (I don’t want an argument though ;-)). I am the first to admit that SCEEs communication with customers can be awful if at times none existent but often they get the blame when things are totally out of their hands.

Retro City Rampage is a prime example. Even the dev tweeted the delays were their fault and NOT SCEEs yet still people tore strips off SCEE for their supposed incompetance.

Trust me I think SCEE are FAR from perfect and have huge room for improvement in certain areas.

I do think their PS+ service is superb value for money. At about 70p a week or £2.80 (or so) per month I fail how people don’t see the value. Even taking the games out of the equation the cloud game saves and auto download of game and system patch/updates are great but I suppose it is a subjective thing at the end of the day.

THE WALKING DEAD
THE WALKING DEAD
THE WALKING DEAD
THE WALKING DEAD
THE WALKING DEAD
THE WALKING DEAD

Sorry, but i’ve asked and i’ve seen many others ask is The Walking Dead going to get a discount soon, steam and 360 have had MASSIVE discounts on it and nothing on PSN. Not even a mention of yes in the future or no we are not able to obtain a discount any chance you can say if there’s NOT going to be a discount?

Also I’d love discounts on

Plants vs Zombies
Red Dead [got my ps3 & was a ps+ subscriber just after it went off]
Daytona USA
Destruction Derby
Trine 2
Fighting Vipers
any other Sega classics like Streets of Rage/Golden Axe etc
Earthworm Jim [US selling it for under a $1!]

also Id love to see the Sega Vintage Collection hit UK like it just has US

chris i know that walking dead in not on the cards as fred answered that question for me a few days ago, however he did say subject to late changes.
so please please talk to who you have to talk to and if its in your power make it happen as walking dead has to be the most requested sale title on the blog.

In December you said that ps vita sale are coming in january, and where are they? I am very disappointed, because i don`t like liers. So I just want answer. Where are Vita games? Just please give me answer. And don`t say that they are “coming”…because they are not. I realy want ANSWER liers!!!

Probably wont bother buying any games even if they do eventually have a Ps Vita Sale, taken them this bloody long to dodge around the question im probably not going to bother downloading any PSN title now and just watch for them to become free on PS+.

I have not have been able to move the cursor once the PSN store loads.
Everything else is ok (selecting XMB items, playing games etc) but soon as I load up the PSN store it loads to the first page and no matter what I do (Reset controller / reboot / reinstall the PSN store) I cannot scroll through the store to browse / download things. I have PS+ so currently I am missing out!

Hi Chris. I am having problems finding Jet Set Radio for purchase. It is not in the sale area and it is not in the PS3 games category, as it appears as though the trial is listed, rather than the full game. Is anyone else having any problems finding Jet Set Radio for purchase on the PlayStation Store?

Also Chris, I would suggest that you add Droplitz (£3.99), Rock of Ages (£3.19), Smash Cars (£4.99), Trine 2 (£7.29), Wakeboarding HD (£4.79), along with a few Minis and PSP games that are all compatible with the Vita. All of these games have a special offer price reduction date on them, so I believe that they should be classed as being in the January Sale, rather than the Price Drops section and that they should be listed in your main blog post, just so that it raises some awareness of further price reductions in the January Sale. What do you think, Chris?

Also, is there any chance of you admitting that the Vita Sale that you keep on teasing us Vita owners about will FINALLY (thinks o The Rock screaming it out to the MILLIONS!!!) take place somewhere around mid February 2013?

You are correct about Jet Set Radio, I have flagged this with the store operations team so this should be resolved in a couple of hours.

Wakeboard HD along with a load of mini games such as Dr. Maybee and the Adventures of Scary Girl, Stickman Rescue and Rocks N rockets all have a discount on them for Plus members only until 30th January. These are seperate to the January sale and would usually be included in a Plus update but we have not had one over the xmas period.

Hey, cheers for posting this information through guys. I have to add my voice to those of the disappointed Vita owners though. Early adopting Vita owners seem to have gotten a pretty raw deal over 2012. I understand that the install base isn’t massive but I think it would be a good idea to throw a bone to Vita owners every now and again so we can tell our friends, with a straight face, that owning a Vita is worthwhile. I also know that you can’t do anything about the slow release schedule of games, but giving us a few good deals would have been a good opportunity to reward us for our faith. And I really do mean faith! It’s hard to ignore the negative press the Vita is getting and any tangible indication that Sony cares about the Vita would be terrific.

It strikes me that PSN has only three Arkanoid games: Shatter, Hyperballoid, Magic Orbz and none of them are free for PS+ or discounted.
This is a must-have genre and all these game must be offered.
Sorry, I am not interested in retail games on PSN.

I was just wondering if there was anything in the works for Switzerland regarding apps and store availability. We still don’t have the youtube app here in switzerland for reasons I don’t quite get. Is there any plans to change that soon ?
